Descripció del treball

The Pere Virgili Institute for Health Research (IISPV) is an institution that integrates research in the field of biomedicine in the “Camp de Tarragona” and the “Terres de l’Ebre”. The IISPV is the instrument that the university hospitals of both health regions have been endowed with (Joan XXIII University Hospital of Tarragona, Verge de la Cinta Hospital of Tortosa, Sant Joan de Reus University Hospital, Institut Pere Mata University Hospital of Reus) and Rovira and Virgili University, in order to bring together and manage biomedical research and innovation in the territory.

The Metabolomics Interdisciplinary Laboratory group (MIL@b, 2021 SGR 00842) is aimed at advancing scientific and technological knowledge in metabolomics. MIL@b is co-lead by Dr. Maria Vinaixa and Dr. Oscar Yanes and it is integrated by 20 scientists including full and associate professors, PhD students, post-doctorate researchers and technical staff who are affiliated to the Department of Electronic, Electrical and Automatic Engineering DEEEiA at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) and to the Institut d’Investigació Sanitària Pere Virgili (IISPV). These scientists pull together all necessary backgrounds to conduct frontier research in metabolomics. Our vision is to apply engineering and technology principles to understand metabolism from a systems perspective helping to move  forward precision and personalized medicine. Our main research activities focus is twofold: developing cutting-edge technologies to turn metabolomics into a functional genomics tool and deploying such technologies to the study of non-communicable multigenic and multifactorial diseases such as diabetis and cardiovascular diseases.
